    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

Apparently Melbourne is going to train at skilled stadium on Friday afternoon

I imagine this would not be a closed session as there is no way known that Geelong will not be watching

If that is the case does anyone know if Melbourne supporters are allowed to sit in on the session,

and if they are, what time will the session be held at ?

Also apparently Melbourne is staying the night in Geelong

Anyone know if the Melbourne football club is organising anything for Melbourne supporters in the Geelong region to meet or greet the players ?

Besides being at the game.

Its bloody hard to get tickets thats for sure :(

It's not easy for them to have a closed session at Skilled and as you said, the cats would be able to watch no matter what, so what would be the point?

Not sure about any functions, but I'll try to head down tomorrow.

I know they only release a certain amount of tickets, but I think there is a little bit of a fallacy with these ticket sales. My sister jumped online Monday night and bought tickets as easily as any other event. I think people are either too lazy to try or are just using it as an excuse not to go.

You're dead right, it's not that hard to get tickets at all if you're just a little bit organised.

If you wake up the morning before the game and decide you want tickets, then yes, you will probably find difficulty.

there is no tickets left

my family called up and they said there were no more left

but there still might be

Why would anyone want tickets when you can stay home and listen to the dulcet tones of Kelli Underwood?

Agree. From almost any vantage point at Skilled.

The session I'd imagine wouldn't give much away anyway, being the day before the match. More a familiarity, tuning up session I would have thought. I'm sure our coaches would be most wary re: set plays.

Besides Geelong would have done their homework anyway. If anything, Geelong would have more concern on who is IN and who is OUT of the Melbourne side. Albeit very little concern.

Cos they're the "greatest".. :rolleyes:

are they standing though or seated ones?

Who cares. If you wanna support the team it doesn't matter if you have to stand. My sister and I are going down to stand in the general admin. Jump online if you're having trouble getting them over the phone. Quick and simple.

The forecast tomorrow is for more rain so I guess that's also going to work in Geelong's favour given their skill advantage and their harder bodied players.

Should still be an interesting test for us.

As long as the Boys Believe in their own ability & have a real Crack. Who knows what the players have said to each other on the way down to Geelong.

If the Article in the Geelong Addy with Clint Bartram says anything-The MFC are looking forward to the challenge.

If it gets ugly Tomorrow, well we know how much more work is needed. I don't think it will. I predict another close one.

This young side enjoys playing top teams & i expect that tradition to continue...(i Hope)!!!!!

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast.

If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
